Yards and teams · Grooms training

The people who handle them
every single day.

Practical, hands-on training for grooms and yard staff, in the language they work in, on the horses they actually handle.

Why it matters

Your horse spends more time
with them than with you.

A horse is caught, led, tied, groomed, rugged and turned out by the same person twice a day. That is where its habits are formed, not in the forty minutes a week it is ridden.

This gives grooms the same foundation owners get: how to tell when a horse is over threshold, when to release pressure, and how to do the daily jobs so the horse gets calmer over time. It is also a safety course. Most yard injuries happen in the ordinary jobs, to people who did not see it coming.

Taught on the horses they handle every day

What’s
covered.

1
The daily jobs
Catching and leading, tying, grooming and feet, rugging, turnout and bringing in, and loading.
2
Reading arousal early
The single most useful thing on any yard: seeing a horse tip over before it escalates.
3
When a horse says no
What to do in the moment, so the horse gets calmer next time instead of more defensive.

Who it’s for

Grooms, yard staff and working pupils, experienced or brand new. Also owners who want everyone handling their horse the same way.

How long

Half a day or a full day, depending on team size, arranged around the working day so the yard keeps running.

Where

Garden Route and Western Cape, further by arrangement.

What they said

In their words.

I have been looking for a trainer for years who works with nervous system regulation. I am so excited to have found Rynhardt and Horse Flow. I really appreciate how subtle and quiet the training is and feel that my horses have benefited. The grooms who make up our team have also learnt a lot - and that’s great for the horses. Thanks, Rynhardt, for the considered and kind input.

The yard add-on

Your whole team,
on one record.

Once they are trained, give them the same record: grooms log feeds, visits and treatments on their own phones, into yours. Added to Rider or Complete, with no charge per horse.
